ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT:

Ed Petersen, '85 is an SCDS alumnus, a member of the SCDS Alumni Council, a current SCDS parent, and started his own company called Wrench. "I started Wrench with my fellow co-founders to remove the hassle of car ownership," Petersen said.

Wrench is a full-service auto shop without the actual 'shop', offering everything from brake jobs and tune ups, to oil changes. "Startup companies are fast paced and fun, but extremely challenging. The passion to pursue a unique idea coupled with a constant thirst to learn are the most important things to get started," Petersen explained. "The building block of any startup is inquiry-based learning. At SCDS you learn how this process works at a young age and, most importantly, you learn to enjoy it."

Doc O Imparts Far-Reaching Wisdom

You may, like many Wildcat alums, remember a teacher in a white lab coat teaching about the wonders of science. She may have told you that "all science is based on a sugar cube" or reminded you to "never trust a science teacher." 

Dr. Meredith Olson, or 'Doc O' as she is lovingly referred to on-campus, is a fixture in the fabric of SCDS. Did you know that Doc O has published a set of books with the intention of allowing alum students a peek behind the wizard's curtain? "These books are a review of the lessons many alumni have experienced coupled with explanations about why lessons were crafted that way," Doc O said.

The book series is called Raising Interesting People and can be viewed online here. There are currently four books in the collection and Doc O intends to add more. "When I started writing these books, I wanted to see if I could capture my daily thoughts as to why I lead the orchestra this way; and how I know when it works and when it doesn't," Doc O said. We hope you will join us and dive into Doc O's books or have her sign your copy when you come back to visit campus next!

Alum Judges Wanted for Future
SCDS Debate Tournaments

SCDS participates in three debates annually in October, December, and January. At our most recent tournament, we were fortunate to have some alumni—Leela Berman, '15 (pictured above, middle); Grady Short, '15 (pictured above, left); Alex O'Brien, '15 (pictured above, right); Noah Franklin, '13 (not pictured); and Sienna Axe, '14 (not pictured)—join the judging panel and it was delightful! So much so that we would love for this to be a regular occurrence.

Please contact Grades 6-8 Language Arts Teacher and Debate Coach Brian Crawford if you are interested in judging in the fall of 2017.
